Carroll & Co.

Traditional with a twist is mens clothing stores success recipe
Carroll & Co., the venerable mens furnishing store is keeping up with the times. The recently launched Facebook page gives friends the chance to discuss fashion, see our take on whimsical things that are happening, says owner John Carroll, and view profiles of former clients, like Gene Kelly and Swifty Lazar. And in what seems like a perfect marriage for a store known for updated traditional clothing, Carroll & Co. has partnered with The Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles. The best of Carroll & Co, a smattering of accessories, shirts, ties and sportswear is now available in the clubs gift shop, Bellevue Terrace. A window at the Montage, facing Beverly Drive, now features the stores classic not trendy essentials, from both America and Europe. Carroll is just back from Italy where he attended the Pitti Uomo, or mans show with 400-500 European vendors in Florences historic stone fortress Fortezza da Basso. A lot of these people are the small
mom-and-pop people we work with, Carroll says. They dont have agents representing them. You can only see them if you go there. There are probably 10 companies we work with that have no other accounts in the United States. These supply some of the stores slacks and many of the popular leather

DAME FAME: Dishing Elizabeth Taylor

JOAN RIVERS

Elizabeth Taylor once remarked that she could not remember a time when she was not famous. For people of a certain age (and that most definitely includes me!), the fabled stars comment is the unequivocal truth. As far back as I can remember, Elizabeth Taylors beauty, major film roles, wealth, extravagant taste in jewelry, horrifying series of illnesses, trips to the Betty Ford Clinic, devastating weight gain, craving for an endless supply of gifts, friendship with Michael Jackson, and stunning ability to survive every obstacle placed in her way have been part and parcel of my consciousness. If anyone is Dame Fame, Dame Elizabeth fits the bill. ated by her addiction to alcohol, prescription drugs and amphetamine shots), Elizabeths PR staff drove the public into a frenzy with bulletins about her imminent demise. After she recovered, Elizabeth emerged a heroic figure, making her perhaps the first bad girl in show business history to remain a bad girl at the same time that the public perceived her as an admirable human being. This extraordinary and rare ability to have it both ways marked Taylor as the first modern star, paving the way for stars like Madonna, Britney and Brangelina, all of whom have proven themselves dexterous manipulators of the way the public perceives them.
both a country house and a beach house. Fearing the German invasion, the Taylor family moved to Los Angeles, and after failing as a chicken farmer, Francis opened an art gallery. Customers took note of his beautiful nine-year-old daughter who served hors doeuvres and the rest is movie history The book is peppered with lots of familiar namesRock Hudson, Mike Todd, Richard Burton, etc but only two characters wind up treated badly: Debbie Reynolds and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. Mann portrays Reynolds as tough as nails, asexual, thoroughly dedicated to acting the role of the jilted wife. Fearful that the public would perceive her as less than feminine because Elizabeth Taylor had stolen her husband, and Hopper as an evil, meddling, power mad, anti-Semitic witch. Over the course of my career, Ive told a series of Elizabeth Taylor fat jokes that generated a great deal of attention. On PBSs history of comedy series, Make Em Laugh, I explained that those jokes stood as symbols for my attempt to lay to waste the culture of celebrity and its desire to feed the public an ongoing stream of lies, i.e. Why does the press insist on saying Elizabeth is the most beautiful woman on earth? This is not true. Shes so fat now, shes the three most beautiful women on earth. Elizabeth, the queen of all media (and as it turns out a very classy lady), seemed to know exactly where I was coming from and agreed to co-host with me an AIDS benefit at a time when most stars were not ready to declare their support publicly to fight this dreaded disease, and Ive always been grateful for that. How To Be A Movie Star is a fitting tribute to one of the very few stars that stands as a definition of stardom.

CLIF SMITH
IN THE IRON GRIP OF A COMMITTED SOCIALIST
If you are dying of lung cancer and are a one pack-a-day smoker, will any responsible physician prescribe smoking four packs? How about if you are an alcoholic, will any doctor order you to quadruple your consumption of alcohol? No responsible doctor would ever do that. Why, then, if our federal and state governments have spent us into bankruptcy is our President Obama prescribing more of the same out-of-control spending into the foreseable future? Most of us have spent our lives listening to the arguments over federal spending. Spending is always referred to as excessive. Former President George W. Bush started breaking the bank during his last two years, but his deficits (which are not defensible) were in the $100 billion range. Obama now proposes to borrow a dollar for every dollar received by the federal government in taxes. He promises TRILLION dollar deficits forever. This has been tried over and over again, but the national leaders who did this had or have names like Peron and Chavez or Allende. Why is our president copying the break the bank policies of third world strong men who have uniformly destroyed their own countries? They always destroy their economies, destroy the value of their currencies, throw people out of work, destroy the value of the people's savings and assets, and wreck their countries. This is ALWAYS the result. It has never turned out any other way. It is happening to us, now. Either President Obama is simply mistaken or he is doing this on purpose. We believe he is a brilliant man who knows exactly what he wants to do, and is doing it. Whether the money comes entirely from taxes or from taxes and borrowing, he knows he is consuming vast amounts of the nation's wealth. He is not doing this inadvertently. He and his advisors know that the federal government will confiscate all available liquidity. They know that spending trillions more than we take in, year after year, will destroy the private sector and thus, the nation. And where is the money going? No one really knows, but at a minimum much of it seems headed back to states to pay their own deficits. It's a borrowing party with no one left to pay the bills. This is not accidental. Mr. Obama promised change and that is what he is doing. He promised a massive takeover of the American private sector and he is doing it. He promised his union supporters that they will be taken care of, and he is making good on that promise. The fact there will be no one left to earn a living, grow a business, buy a house or pay taxes except government-supported workers has no meaning to him. After the stunning election in Massachusetts, he has not pulled back nor toned down his objectives. He is going full speed ahead. Whatever he may be accused of doing, he cannot be accused of misleading any of us. He is rocketing us toward federal intervention and control of nearly every aspect of our lives. He is accomplishing this through regulations, taxes, penalties and borrowing. Those are his sticks. His carrots are federal programs to lend us our own money back to pay for things we need like homes and cars and education. It is the iron grip of a committed socialist, and the grip is tightening.
